Psychologists believe very few potential terrorists are able to stay calm during direct questioning right before boarding the flight. People trained in interrogation are able to tell if passengers are nervous or lying. While airline employees may ask if someone packed their bags themselves, they aren’t trained to read a person’s eye movements and facial twitches. El Al staff are trained and ask the reason for a passengers trip, their job or occupation and whether they have packed their bags themselves. It still doesn’t take much time and could be the extra step needed.
